I agree.. i think the piracy issue is just an excuse. I also guess they dont want people to emulate older sony consoles, since they want to instead sell the games again.[/quote]
Some greaet points made.
Won't PPC Linux allow us to emaulte the older systems (Amiga, Sega Genesis, Mame?)
I have been able to do a great deal of things with an xbox. Run Linux, run stable Amiga Emulation, Emulate every game system to date, run an XBOX media center, and dvd player that is quite good. All homebrew on an XBOX.
Surely a PS3 using readily availabe Linux alternatives such as Myth TV, Mame, UAE and other PPC linux software can provide some great value. The odds of ayone producing a 3.2 G5 Amiga board with 256 megs are slim to none so for all but the most die hard developer.
A couple of years ago I ran Amithilon on a $600 pc with 512 megs... ran quite well.
I would not run Photoshop on it... I would browse the web, play all my amiga games, mods, email...all under one system connected to a Walmart 37" lcd...
For serious development a MacMall PC or Mac provides better dev tools and value.
It's a good time to be a gamer especially if you're an Amigan.
